Oxygen brings us life and is critical for our cells ability to survive and thrive! Diseases, inflammation, pain, and poor immune function often ensue if the body does not have adequate oxygen. Fortunately, there is a treatment that addresses this called mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (MHBOT).
At VitalHealth Partners in Westlake, Ohio we provide mild hyperbaric oxygen services. Our team can assess patients and supply them with information and a treatment plan that is right for them.

What Is Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Mild Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a type of treatment that centers around breathing a higher concentration of oxygen in a pressurized chamber. Our chamber reaches a maximum operating pressure of 1.3 ATA (4PSI). At normal atmospheric pressure, oxygen is delivered throughout the body via the red blood cells. Under pressurized conditions, oxygen molecules condense in size and are forced to dissolve in the body’s fluids e.g., plasma, synovial fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid thus optimizing oxygen delivery to the tissues. This supersaturation of oxygen has numerous healing benefits!
